Most of these wines are created specifically for the American market and are barely known by traditional Australian wine drinkers like my brother-in-law.<BR/><BR/>For me, 14.5% is in the ballpark; 15.5% is pushing it.Fred McTaggarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568104809300139407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604297838201539175.post-51227571650219946622008-08-11T20:28:00.000-04:002008-08-11T20:28:00.000-04:00Hey Hey Fred!

I find that I can't drink the high alcohol content ones anymore (in the quantity I like)! Am drinking a Hess Small Block Series '06 Pinot Noir. I think it is high alcohol for a Pinot? 14.5%?! I could report on that effect tomorrow! <BR/>Normally don't like Pinot Noir's...too "thin" but this has a smokey quality that makes me want more. Thin and big all at once.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
